Wario is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. His Project M moveset is based off of his Brawl moveset with many changes made throughout.

He is placed 5th on the official tier list in the A tier, an improvement over his already strong 10th out of 38th placement in Brawl. This very high position is largely due to his high weight and great mobility, edgeguarding, and combo game. In the official Project+ Tier list, he is ranked slightly lower at 6th, in the A+ tier.

Attributes

Wario is a very heavy, but very mobile character. From Brawl, he maintains his incredible aerial mobility and the notorious kill move Wario Waft. These two attributes often lead to him being described as a "Fat Jigglypuff," though the two are quite different. Wario lacks a strong recovery, but his high weight makes it more difficult to knock him off the stage. His re-purposed Chomp combined with his aerial mobility gives him one of the best grabs in the game. His lack of a projectile or significant disjoint makes it somewhat difficult for him to deal with characters that have those traits.

Changes from Brawl to PM

Wario has received both buffs and nerfs in the transition from Brawl to Project M; however, he has been significantly buffed overall. He has received a plethora of notable changes in his moveset to further aid him in the new metagame. It is also now much more reminiscent of his appearances in the various Wario Land games. Many of his moves have decreased ending lag and many of his moves have either been changed completely or have seen heavy adjustments giving them a lot more utility with some examples including his down smash and his down aerial. Wario Waft also charges much faster and is a much stronger KO move when fully charged. His new side special Shoulder Bash is also a much better KO move than his previous side special Wario Bike. He also benefits to the changes to Project M's grab release mechanics more than any other character as he is no longer vulnerable to air release combos, kill confirms and chain grabs.

Wario has received some nerfs however. His previously incredible aerial mobility has been slightly toned down and his recovery is much worse as his new side special Shoulder Bash covers far less horizontal distance than Wario Bike while covering no vertical distance and leaving him helpless and it has less utility on stage in addition. Wario Waft also covers much less vertical distance when fully charged in addition to dealing much less damage and the half charged variant is much weaker. Besides his half waft, some of Wario's other KO moves have also seen significant nerfs as his forward smash is weaker, has more ending lag and no longer has armor while his up aerial deals less damage and now has a sourspot making it more difficult to KO with. Lastly, his down throw is no longer a reliable deadly chain grab due to having much more base knockback as well as due the general changes to PM's DI system.

Nevertheless, Wario is an even larger threat in Project M's meta and has seen even stronger tournament results.

Aesthetics

• Default costume is now the classic plumber's outfit as opposed to the biker's outfit.
• New walking and dashing animations.
• Farting victory pose replaced with posing from Wario Land 4.
• Animations are generally more fluid.

Attributes

• While Wario's aerial grab release animation remains unchanged, he can no longer be forced into it due to Project M using Melee's grab release mechanics. This also means that he can act out of an aerial grab release 20 frames sooner removing all guaranteed follow ups his opponents used to have on him.
• Wario dashes faster (1.35 → 1.55).
• Wario's air speed is slightly slower (1.222 → 1.2).
• Wario's base air acceleration is lower (0.04 → 0.03) slightly decreasing his maximum air acceleration (0.34 → 0.33) though it is still the highest in the game.
• Wario's traction is higher (0.07 → 0.085) although relative to the cast, it has gone from the 3rd highest to the 8th highest.
• Jumpsquat is shorter (6 frames → 5).
• As with all Brawl newcomers, Wario falls faster (1.4 → 1.85) although relative to the cast Wario falls slower going from having the 18th highest fall speed to the 27th highest.
• Wario's gravity is higher (0.0842 → 0.112).
• Wario's rolls have less end lag (FAF 38 → 32).
• Wario's rolls have a shorter duration (frames 4-21 → 4-19).
• Wario's sidestep has a longer duration (frames 2-20 → 2-21).
• Wario's sidestep has more end lag (FAF 26 → 31).

Ground Attacks

• Jab 1 has less startup lag and a longer duration (frames 8-10 → 3-7).
• Jab combo inflicts less damage (12% → 9%) and knockback. It also has less range.
• Wario can now charge his forward tilt. Forward tilt's sweetspot even without charging does slightly more damage (14/13/12 → 15/14/13) and is a stronger KO move. Can be delayed for about 30 frames by holding the attack button, thus increasing its damage. It retains its ability to be angled as well.
• The sourspot of forward tilt no longer deals consistent damage (11% → 12% (up), 11% (not angled), 10% (down).
• Up tilt has higher KO power. The late hit also has a longer duration (frames 15-23 → 15-27).
• Down tilt can be interrupted quicker (FAF 34 → 25), and also propels Wario forward with each use, allowing him to pseudo-crawl and hit repeatedly with the attack.
• Down tilt has a shorter duration (frames 5-9 → 5-8).
• Dash attack's sweetspot has a longer duration (frames 4-5 → 4-7). It also has less end lag (FAF 49 → 44)
• Wario can no longer perform the Gatling Combo. Additionally, his DACUS is harder to perform and travels less distance.
• Forward smash is now a front kick, with longer, more favorable reach. It also has less startup lag and a longer duration due to having a new late hit (frames 9-11 → 8-11 (clean), 12-15 (late).
• Forward smash does less damage (19% → 16% (clean), 10% (late) with less knockback, and no longer has armor, and possesses higher ending lag as Wario attempts to regain balance (FAF 45 → 49) (now being the laggiest forward smash).
• Up smash does more damage (15% → 18%) and is as strong as Brawl, and has less hitlag making it harder to escape.
• Wario has a new down smash: Wario punches the ground to create an earthquake similar to Charizard's down smash, and inspired by Wario Land: Shake It!, which has set knockback and a meteor smash angle. It has generally more utility than his previously-unviable down smash, dealing more damage (13%/10%/8% → 14%/12%/10%), having much less ending lag (FAF 78 → 45) and setting up combos better.
• New down smash has more startup lag and a much shorter duration (frames 8-44 → 10-12).

Aerial Attacks

• Neutral, up and down aerials have more landing lag (10 frames → 15 (neutral), 9 frames → 20 (up), 19 frames → 34 (down), While neutral and down aerials landing lag is compensated with L-canceling, up aerial still has more landing lag when L-cancelled.
• Neutral aerial can do more damage with both hits (13% → 15%). The sweetspot also has a longer duration (frames 4-5 → 4-12) and it has less end lag (FAF 49 → 40).
• Neutral aerial has less KO potential. It also has a new third hit which is the weakest of all three hits. Despite this, the second and third hits have a shorter duration than the Brawl late hit (frames 15-38 → 15-23/24-30).
• Forward aerial does more damage (7% (clean), 5% (late) → 11%/6%) and is significantly stronger in knockback, which, when combined with Wario's great air speed, allows him to efficiently execute pseudo-walls of pain. The sweetspot also has a longer duration (frames 5-6 → 5-7) and it has less ending lag (FAF 37 → 27).
• Late forward aerial has a shorter duration (frames 7-18 → 8-15).
• Wario has a new Back aerial. A back punch, which does much more damage (10% → 16%), and is similar to his forward tilt, which has slightly more startup, but is much stronger, has longer range, and lasts for longer. The sweetspot also has a longer duration and ait has a new late hit giving the move an even longer duration (frames 9-11 → 10-14 (clean), 15-19 (late). It also has less end lag (FAF 49 → 40).
• New back aerial has more startup lag (frame 9 → 10).
• Up aerial has less startup lag (frame 8 → 7) and ending lag (FAF 47 → 31).
• Up aerial now not only has a sourspot, but even the sweetspot deals less damage than the Brawl counterpart (17% → 14%); however, the sweetspot's knockback was compensated (30 (base)/80 (growth) → 45/100). This makes up aerial much harder to use as a KO move.
• Up aerial's sweetspot possesses a slash effect.
• Wario has a new down aerial. A ground pound. It is a stall then fall which aims to the ground quickly and can meteor smash, set up combos on the ground, and is a deadly edge guard tool. As it is not a multi hit, it is significantly more reliable to use.
• New down aerial has less KO power on the ground. Additionally, it has more startup lag (frame 9 → 15), more end lag if it doesn't connect (FAF 37 → 52), auto cancels later (frame 25> → 34>) no longer auto cancelling out of a short hop or even out of a full height double jump, deals less damage (16% → 14%), is dangerously unsafe if he misses it off stage and Wario has much less control while using it.

Grabs and Throws

• Standing and Pivot grabs have more startup lag (frame 6 → 7 (standing), frame 8 → 9 (pivot). All grabs also have more ending lag (FAF 29 → 31 (standing), 39 → 40 (dash), 35 → 36 (pivot)).
• Pummel does 1% more damage (2% → 3%).
• Using pummel now has a coin pop out of the opponent's head.
• Pummel has more ending lag (FAF 18 → 24).
• Forward throw is replaced with a simple single-handed throw that is similar to the throws from Wario Land 4. Uniquely, this throw can also be charged by holding the attack button while pressing forward, similar to a smash attack.
  • Charging increases its knockback, but because the charge takes time, the thrown opponent gets more time to react with appropriate DI. Forward throw also deals less damage even when charged (12% → 7-10%).
• Wario can move sideways whilst using back throw.
• Back throw is now similar to his old forward throw.
• Back throw is much slower making it easier to DI.
• Due to Project M's different physics, up throw can now be used to combo and chaingrab some characters.
• Up throw deals less damage (10% → 8%).
• Down throw does 3% more damage (7% → 10%).
• Down throw deals much more base knockback. While this gives it tech chasing potential, it removes its chain grabbing potential while still being way too weak to kill until super unrealistic percents.

Special Moves

• Chomp is quicker as an attack and can now be used to throw enemies backwards after biting them. When performing the move in the air, it keeps momentum.
• Chomp now consists of a single bite dealing 8% and a weak throw dealing 5%.
• These changes hinder Chomp's damage racking potential.
• Corkscrew has more vertical height and control going left and right when flying up. It also hits more times and much faster, dealing higher damage.
• Corkscrew can no longer grab ledges behind Wario.
• Wario's side special is now his trademark Shoulder Bash (aka Dash Attack) from the Wario Land games. The Shoulder Bash makes Wario dash forward similar to his old forward smash, dealing more damage as he travels. Wario can jump while dashing to continue the attack in the air. Wario can bounce of walls if he hits a wall while using it airborne and he gains less height every time he bounces off a wall. Depending on dash distance, it deals damage from 11% to 22%, inversely — hitting with the end of the charge deals the most damage and knockback. The aerial version is always counted as medium distance.
• Shoulder Bash is much more reliable and powerful as an attack compared to Wario Bike.
• Wario Bike being replaced with Shoulder Bash has heavily reduced Wario's recovery potential. Shoulder Bash only covers a short distance in the air and it leaves Wario helpless after using it. In addition, Shoulder Bash has less utility on the ground than Wario Bike as it lacks wheelies (which could potentially one hit KO his opponent with a glitch on moving platforms). The removal of Wario Bike also means that Wario can't use its tires as a projectile meaning that Wario now has no usable projectiles.
• A fully charged Wario Waft can no longer Star KO Wario should he use it to fly to the top of the screen. It also charges much faster (105 seconds → 65) and is a stronger KO move (0 (base), 30 (scaling) → 40/85).
• While Wario Waft charges up faster, it can only deal a maximum of 21% damage fully charged much like his half Waft in Brawl (40% → 21%). It also gains much less height hindering its recovery potential and Waft cannot charge on the respawn platform. Half Waft also deals less damage (21% → 16%) and is significantly weaker.
• Wario-Man is much less effective as a Final Smash as he has a shorter duration (16 seconds → 12) and is no longer invincible. Additionally, as Wario-Man was re-balanced to be a normal fighter, his mobility is worse, his moveset is significantly less effective and he no longer has an infinite recovery.

Wario-Man

As of v3.6 Beta, Wario-Man can now be selected as a character, in a similar fashion to Giga Bowser. Much like how Giga Bowser lost his constant armor, Wario-Man is no longer invincible for the duration of his appearance, and his recovery is no longer infinite, though Wario-Man can still gain significant distance using his extra midair jump and height gain from neutral aerial and up aerial. As expected, Wario-Man is still an exceptionally strong character, with the following noticeable changes from Wario:

• Has an extra midair jump, and each jump has significantly increased height.
• Is heavier than Wario and falls faster.
• Wario-Man's attacks in general are much stronger, much faster in startup, have more active frames, and are interruptible at almost any point in their ending lag.
• Forward smash is intangible during the entire duration of the hitbox.
• Up smash has a huge windbox on Wario-Man's head, and the innermost hitbox can freeze opponents with high vertical knockback.
• Down smash can bury opponents.
• All aerials except down aerial have much larger hitboxes, and auto-cancel upon landing. Up aerial and neutral aerial can also give Wario-Man limited height when spammed.
• Dash grab makes Wario-Man charge forward like his Shoulder Bash, with vastly superior range and active frames.
• All throws, including the Chomp throw, have vastly increased KO potential. Back throw can also slide much farther and quicker before release.
• Corkscrew hits only two times but has much higher knockback and deals 28% damage total.
• Shoulder Bash has reduced startup lag, as well as a headbutt animation in the air. Grounded version can be canceled by pressing down, which makes Wario-Man instead do 5% damage farts with minimal knockback. Aerial version no longer makes him helpless, and additionally has a chance to misfire, extending his travel distance with farts and doing increased damage and knockback like Luigi's Green Missile.
• Wario Waft charges much faster.
• Up taunt makes Wario-Man temporarily grow bigger and takes much longer to fix his jaw, but if it goes uninterrupted, every grounded opponent suffers extreme hitlag and light upwards knockback, allowing for followups after.
• Side taunt acts as a windbox, and the taunt can be held down to keep producing windboxes; also if a opponent is closer to him, Wario-Man can perform a variant of Jigglypuff's Rest.
• Every fart animation features purple gas.
• Now has palette swaps that correspond to the color chosen for Wario (whether the biker outfit or overalls are used does not matter) before the match begins.

Moveset

Up to date as of version 3.6.

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack			3%	Left hook, then right hook. Decent knockback but a tad slow for a jab. The first jab can even set up a forward smash. Wario walks forward slightly when this move is used consecutively.
			6%
Forward tilt	↗		15-17% (fist), 12-14% (body)	Wario swings his right fist in a circle then thrusts it forward. Has slight start-up but little ending lag with great range. Good KO move at about 100%. May be based on an attack from Wario's look-alike Booster in Super Mario RPG. Can be charged to increase both damage and knockback. Can also be angled.
	→		14-16% (fist), 11-13% (body)
	↘		13-15% (fist), 10-12% (body)
Up tilt			10% (clean), 6% (late)	Raises both hands above his head. Decent vertical launcher. Wario's head is intangible while the hitboxes are out.
Down tilt			8%	Stabs his index finger at the ground in front of him. Quite quick compared to his other moves, but has ending lag. Below-average range, but not that bad. Wario moves forward a small distance whenever the move gets used.
Dash attack			7% (clean), 5% (late)	Trips and falls flat on his face, sliding a small bit. Very fast start-up, but has lots of ending lag that makes it a very punishable move. Might be based on the Sliding Catch, a move in Mario Superstar Baseball, a game that Wario was in.
Forward smash			16% (clean), 10% (late)	Wario kicks forward while moving forward. Very fast and has high knockback, but can be easily punished when shielded, as it has long ending lag.
Up smash			2% (hits 1-5), 8% (hit 6)	Head grows as Wario spins, hitting multiple times with the head. Poor range, but deals decent damage. Can KO at high percentages, although the knockback isn't too high. Wario's head is intangible while the hitboxes are out.
Down smash			14% (center), 12% (shockwave close), 10% (shockwave far)	Slams his fist into the ground, knocking foes upward and stunning them for a split second. This move has set knockback, so it won't KO even at 999%. This move can also set up combos.
Neutral aerial			9% (clean), 6% (mid), 4% (late)	Accompanied by a gradually lowering sound of falling, Wario extends his hands and fingers, then spins in place. A quick move to use in the air. Great for spacing and hard to punish. Also great when short hopping with it out of shield. Both hits can connect at very low percentages.
Forward aerial			11% (clean), 6% (late)	Sticks his foot a short distance forward. Very little range and damage, but fast and lasts a long time. Best used for "wall of pain"-style attacking.
Back aerial			16% (clean), 9% (late)	Throws his fist backwards, launching opponents horizontally. Similar to his forward tilt, but deals more damage.
Up aerial			14% (sweetspot), 9% (sourspot)	Claps above his head with hands and feet. The hitbox covers his whole body, even where he doesn't clap and has a slight horizontal disjoint. This is a great move to use on floaty characters with poor aerial defense.
Down aerial			14%	Plunges straight downward on his bum, bouncing off the enemy and sending them slightly upward. The move meteor smashes opponents. Can be used to bounce off an enemy twice in a row at low damage percent.
Grab			—
Pummel			3%	Pokes his opponent in the torso with a coin popping out and back into the enemy.
Forward throw			7-10%	Reels the enemy back and then throws them forward. Can be charged to increase damage.
Back throw			9% (throw), 8% (collateral)	Spins around three times and throws the opponent backwards. Wario can move in either direction before throwing them backward, which is useful for getting earlier KOs. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. Identical to Mario and Luigi's back throw. The spun opponent can hurt other foes. Based on the Wild Swing-Ding seen in Wario World.
Up throw			2% (hit 1), 6% (throw)	Throws them into the air and jumps up, headbutting them. Can lead to rising fully charged Wario Waft against many characters and also put them in a good position for aerials.
Down throw			6% (hit 1), 4% (throw)	Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them, who is then knocked behind Wario. Probably based on the ground pound move in Wario Land and Wario World.
Floor attack (front)			6%	Wario gets up and pokes both forwards and backwards.
Floor attack (back)			6%	Wario spins around with his fist extended.
Floor attack (trip)			5%	Wario thrusts his fists in front of him, then kicks his legs behind him.
Edge attack (fast)			6% (lower body), 8% (upper body)	Crawls up the ledge and flips onto his back, attacking with his head.
Edge attack (slow)			10%	Crawls up the ledge and slides his finger across the ground. Similar to his down tilt.
Neutral special		Chomp	8% (chomp), 5% (throw) (13% total)	Wario opens his mouth and bites the opponent once before spitting them out. Wario can spit the enemy out before the chomp and the enemy can be thrown wither forwards for backwards.
Side special		Shoulder Bash	12-21% (ground), 15% (air)	Rams forward with a shoulder bash. If the control stick is moved up, Wario will do a jump forward. If used in the air it will put Wario into a helpless state. This move can strangely cancel out Pikachu's grounded Thunder Jolt but can be interrupted by any other projectile.
Up special		Corkscrew	5% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-11), 4% (hit 12)	Wario leaps into the air while spinning.
Down special		Wario Waft	12-21%	Gas will build up in Warios belly and is fully charged after little over a minute. Wario then lets loose a blast of air, depending on how long it's been since he last did it.
Final Smash		Wario-Man	Varies	Turns into Wario Man and gains vastly increased damage, power, and speed.

Alternate costumes

Project M

Wario is the only character that did not receive a single new costume in Project M. Worth noting, however, his costumes changed order when compared to Brawl, where his WarioWare costume is the "main" one. Instead, in Project M his Mario and Wario Land costume is featured more prominently, most likely to better represent the changes to his moveset that mainly take inspiration from that series in particular.

Wario's alternate costumes in PM

Project+

In Project+, Wario has a new costume based on his appearance from WarioWare: D.I.Y., the costume also comes with five recolors for Team Battles, one of which is based on his appearance in WarioWare: Snapped!.

2.5 updates the black Biker Wario palette to be more distinct.
